Here are some of the little critters being launched at
In Response To: The quick and the dead. ()

Los Frailes about 40 miles north of Cabo on the inside of the Baja. Denny and I saw some kids on the beach who we thought were steeling turtle eggs but when we talked to them about it we discovered it's what they do as a hobby. Each day they check out each nest and keep it covered with wood or screens to keep the predators away. When the eggs get ready to hatch they come by and collect them and Set the strongest loose at the same time leaving the weaker ones in the nest longer. We got to "launch 27 of the little guys. It was like herding cats but great fun.
